Wiseman

I wish just a few of you
Would raise up with me, raise up quickly
Before everyone is thrown down hard bruised and scarred
Defiled and scraped, enslaved and raped
Instead I watch most of you
Conform and shape
I know its easy seems
Such a hopeless cause
Ain't bad now
But think about your children y'all
Will they even be able to play outdoors?
Without the threat
Of vast and private nuclear wars
I'm not rebukin' the laws
Just refusing what they makin' them for
Their versions of hate are simply to store
On top of their pride
Everyday I struggle and strive
To keep my head
Despite the constant losin' of lives
And all the men
Manufacturing lead employed by death
Will work until there isn't anything left
And that's my word
You don't even have to believe
But don't act now
And these things will be reality

Heard a wise man say
You only have good days
Because of the bad
But frankly I got too many
Kind brothers and sisters out there
That go through
Too many days that are sad
All we need to do is put a little effort to
Put a smile on your neighbors face
Give a little hug cause just a little love
Make the negative vibes all fly away

Put an end to the chaos
The way they betray us must be silenced
And I will attribute the violence
To the way they were raised
They strive to be giants
I strive for defiance – of the system
Rastas call it Babylon it has to be gone
Raise your hand, take a stand
Keep singing that freedom song
We didn't agree upon
Lockin' up kids
Because they chose to induce
They brains with a chemical
Miss your subliminals
While you uptight they let loose
While they lettin' loose
I continue to preach
Predictin' the tricks
And the sins up the sleeve
Of Sammy's police
Proceedin' to leave
Fatherless children
Injustice and trails of dirt
And blood on the streets

Heard a wise man say
You only have good days
Because of the bad
But frankly I got too many
Kind brothers and sisters out there
That go through
Too many days that are sad
All we need to do is put a little effort to
Put a smile on your neighbors face
Give a little hug cause just a little love
Make the negative vibes all fly away

I live the way that I gotta
To make sure my children
Wanna follow In my footsteps
Or so at least
They learn from my mishaps
These beats make your feet tap
Foul humans may cause you to snap
Lose your sanity, Speak profanity
And make someone's end your fantasy
So hear the chant I speak
And refrain from the lifestyle
That causes God to banish ye
To the depths of Haiti
Cause this world we're in ain't all gravy
The road is bumpy
That's why I seek for God to save me
Like Humpty Dumpty
You may fall off the wall
But if you stand like a man
You won't be forced to crawl
You raise your head and stand tall
Through it all if you fail
At least you gained from experience
I pray you hearin' this
And for your sake I hope it's makin' sense

Heard a wise man say
You only have good days
Because of the bad
But frankly I got too many
Kind brothers and sisters out there
That go through
Too many days that are sad
All we need to do is put a little effort to
Put a smile on your neighbors face
Give a little hug cause just a little love
Make the negative vibes all fly away
Fly away fly away negativity yeah yeah
Heard a wiseman say
